Path To Preservation - Kallari Project

Path To Preservation emphasizes a journey toward safeguarding the environment, highlighting commitment to sustainability and conservation efforts.

Through a partnership with Eric Gilbert from Island Chocolates, Growing Hope Initiative took on the
documentation of the operating process of the Ecuadorian company, Kallari. The company's use of locally and
sustainably grown cacao to produce chocolate they would package and sell, was covered. Other issues covered
were the locals' concern about the large amount of farmland that was being bought by American companies. The 

documentary highlighted this in a small production, and emphasized the fact that many of the families in the 

Canton of Tena and surrounding areas are dependent on the partnership they have with Kallari Chocolates.

This story was captured, edited (film), and produced by Aaron Harrigan.
